Distractions can sometimes be a good thing, especially if we feel overwhelmed, and there are plenty of healthy distractions. But there is an enormous difference between healthy and unhealthy distractions, and it\\u2019s important to be honest with yourself about the long-term effects of the unhealthier ways that we can choose to distract ourselves from issues (not to mention that avoiding our problems can also make them far worse). So this week I\\u2019m talking about what distractions are, why it\\u2019s important to know the difference between healthy and unhealthy distractions, and how to effectively manage distractions so you can look after yourself. So, let\\u2019s talk!
